Seeing as the only muppets I have seen before is the christmas Carol film and a few internet music videos, this review is through the eyes of someone almost completely new to the muppets.The story is clever. Basically, muppet Walter is a big fan of the Muppets. So when his brother Gary (Segal) and girlfriend (Adams)go to Los Angeles for the tenth anniversary, he tags along to see the old muppet studio. While their he finds that an evil rich man named- named Tex Richman (Cooper) funnily enough - is planing to buy and drill the muppet studio for oil. Now the Muppets have to get back together to put on a show and make ten million dollars before the deadline.
The Muppets is definitely a happy film, so if you're a die hard fan of There Will Be Blood, this probably isn't the film for you. The film often makes fun of itself along with commonly used film gimmicks which makes it seem modest and not as if it's trying to force the emotion down our throats. In the cinema I was in, both adults and children seemed to be enjoying themselves. That's a hard thing for a film to do. In conclusion, The Muppets is a nostalgia fest for most adults while it still appeals to kids of 2012. Jim Henson had invented something timeless when he first thought of these wonderful characters.
****Good
